The Tweet below perfectly exemplifies the effects of idolatry on one's faith in God. This Tweet, sent by internet personality Laura Loomer in the wake of Democratic victories in the 2026 mid-term elections, sends the following message: "God is only God when the majority of people around me share a sociopolitical view with which I'm comfortable. God ceases to be God when my opposites are in office; He is too weak to withstand anything contrary to my world view. He is then no longer sovereign or wise."
Christians who struggle with political idolatry would do well to remember the Apostles did not live in a country in which their faith was the predominant one, and that this was never their hope. The gospel of Jesus Christ is not an American gospel, formed and fitted for any one nation. To believe so is to believe a heresy, an idolatrous, warped version of Christianity that is easily dashed when your world is challenged.
"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." -Colossians 3:1-2
"Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." -Matthew 8:20
